From Mackenzie Knowles-Coursin ’07:
As long as I can remember I have been drawn to this, to exploring why people move and what that moving does, what it gives and what it takes. As a journalist I have covered migration for nearly 15 years, working across the world for publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and many others. I have followed people across the Sahara and the borders of Europe, documented families fleeing war in South Sudan and Iraq and Ukraine, sat with refugees seeking asylum in Sweden and Greece, and watched others throw the dice on perilous journeys across North Africa.
